Welcome back to the Quarterly Pierce County Housing Market Update covering September through November 2025. Instead of tracking the week-to-week noise, we’re now zooming out to give you a clearer, more meaningful look at how the market is actually performing across the quarter. No boring reports, no data overload, just the truth about what’s happening in our local real estate landscape.

And let’s kick things off with a little good news: interest rates finally dipped a bit this quarter. Not a dramatic plunge, but enough to matter. In real estate, even a tiny shift can unlock new opportunities for buyers and boost confidence for sellers.

This week’s Pierce County Housing Market Stats show a strong rebound after last week’s slowdown, proof that the local market still has plenty of life in it! Active listings jumped from 72 to 256, giving buyers a much wider selection of homes to choose from. That boost in inventory is a welcome sign as we head deeper into fall, showing that sellers are still confident about putting their homes on the market.

This week’s Pierce County Housing Market Stats brought a little more movement compared to last week, with several categories showing shifts worth watching. Active listings dropped from 270 to 242, meaning there are fewer homes on the market for buyers to choose from. At the same time, pending inspections jumped from 125 to 142, and pending sales increased from 82 to 88. That uptick in pendings shows buyer activity is alive and well, even with fewer homes available.
